Background

[edit]

On August 7, 2011, a video of a recording session of the song was released with Lil Wayne previewing his verse to Drake on Skype. It was directed by DJ Scoob Doo, and was showcased on MTV News.[6] The song was to be titled "Maybe She Will",[7] to be recorded by Drake and to feature a verse from Rick Ross, but after hearing the song, Drake asked Lil Wayne to have it.[8]
